I grew up on vivid Bible stories etched brightly on my child's mind. Daniel hanging with the Lion in the Lion's Den; Jonah running from God's orders then ending up in a whale belly; horses, chariots and Egyptians drowned in a Moses parted Red Sea.

One story that makes me think of why “anarchy” is difficult, is one where the Israelites demanded a human king from God.

Mellow Yellow issue no. 4 is out now! We launched it this year at Auckland Zinefest last Saturday 16th July; it was probably our first time hosting a stall together, PLUS bamboo spoke in a panel discussion on "Zines as tools for political resistance" which was pretty choice. Response has been great, apparently we sold over 40 copies of number 4 that day alone, plus tens of nos.1 , 2 and 3. People also took well to our awesome "..Asian Invasion + BMW" fundraiser. Then on Sunday, the Mellow Yellow crew spoke about their experiences behind making Mellow Yellow together at the "Zines for the revolution" session hosted at Blackheart infoshop, a new anarchist-vegan friendly zines/clothing space on K Road, Auckland. Lots of lols and good fun.

If you'd like a copy of the zine, drop us a message at mellowyellow.aotearoa@gmail.com. Out-of-Aotearoa folks: we do our best to send you copies as much as we can afford postage from our fundraised koha, so do get in touch.

About this blog

This is a blog dedicated to radical social change from a section of the "Asian" tau iwi population in Aotearoa. We wish to create more dialogue and space to talk about issues that are specific to our experience. It’s about opening up a space in which Asian feminists in Aotearoa can speak and communicate our specific and diverse experiences, to counter the dominant white feminisms and left-wing politics, to challenge colonialism, racism, sexism and all forms of unjust social hierarchy. To engage in decolonisation, to create understanding between all oppressed people, to support each other, to inspire solidarity and organize collectively for a better world.
